Home theater

Hi Looking to upgrade my TV and also my Sonos Arc to Ultra version, have the issues been ironed out with firmware updates to the TV and Arc Ultra Apreciate your replies 

Recently I purchased a Sonos Ray soundbar and I’d like to expand the setup. My question is: can I use the soundbar together with a Sonos Era 100 to play a movie? I know the ideal setup would be two Era 100s, but I can’t afford both right now. Would it be possible to have sound playing through both the Ray and a single Era 100 at the same time?

I have just purchased Panasonic DP-UB9000 Region Free Blu-ray Player . When I try to play a 4k movie I get zero sound. The streaming apps all have sound. DVDs also have sound. 4ks zip.

Hello everyone,I have a Sonos Beam (1st generation) and a Sonos Sub, grouped under the name “Living Room” and connected to my network via an RJ45 cable. I’ve been using this system with an Apple TV for years to watch TV. I also bought this system to listen to music at home, particularly via Apple Music, but AirPlay has never worked. I have to use the Music app on the Apple TV, which means turning on the TV, or use the Sonos app on my iPhone or iPad.I’d really like to find a solution so I can finally listen to music easily via AirPlay.Thanks!

Hi everyone,I’d like to raise (again) a feature request that has come up in several threads already, because it significantly affects the listening experience for people using Sonos home theater systems as their primary music system.My setup is an Arc Ultra with Sub and Era 300 surrounds. For movies and Atmos content, the system is excellent. However, the experience when listening to stereo sources over HDMI (YouTube, Spotify via PlayStation, TV apps, etc.) is honestly extremely disappointing.When the system receives Stereo PCM 2.0, only the soundbar plays while the rear speakers remain silent. Sonos currently does not provide an option to duplicate or upmix stereo channels to the surrounds for TV sources.This means that a multi-speaker system that costs several thousand dollars ends up behaving like a single soundbar for a huge amount of everyday content.What makes this especially frustrating is that Sonos already supports something very similar f

My Sonos Beam is connected into the HDMI ARC port of my Samsung Frame TV.The remote has been working just fine for the first few months a I’ve had the TV. I am using the standard Samsung Smart Control remote that comes with the TV.As of about a week ago (4/14/2026) the volume on the TV has stopped working when I click the  “volume up/down button on the remote.The remote otherwise works fine, but the volume/mute features are not working anymore. Someone please help.

I have been audiophile all my life and I just want to say this is by far the best speaker I have ever owned. Having default settings on 0 treble and 0 bass with loudness turned on with truplay activated. This is all you need once again thanks sonos and the team for creating something out of this world 

The short story is that I have the Arc and Sub 2.0. Everything connects, but I can only get sound out of the arc.  I've tried resetting the router, the sub, the arc.Tried putting older software into the sub, and then updating again.I've reset both sono speakers a half a dozen timesI've tried having the subwired to the router, and i've tried having the arc wire to the router, setting it up after both of them are reset.I cannot get a test sound out of the sub before I link it to the arc system.I'm using an Eero router, without issues to any other non-sonos devices. It connects and the functionality all looks correct, i can add it to the room. All the lights work properly. I've tried disabling the wifi on both units when they were hardwired, i've tried having it all set up wirelessly and disabling the sub and reenabling it. I've tried setting the sub and arc up from scratch in 2.4g & again in 5g router configurations. 

I am pretty cdrtain this has been asked before but I cannot find any reference to it so here goes:-My HDMI cable connecting my LG TV to my Sonos Beam has developed a fault (picture below), what is the best high speed HDMI cable that is compatible with my system please? 

Hi everyone,I’m currently enjoying my TV setup with the following configuration:Sonos Arc + 2× Era 100 + Sub Mini.Lately I’ve been thinking about upgrading my system to take fuller advantage of Dolby Atmos, so I’m planning to purchase two Era 300 speakers in the near future.However, it feels a bit wasteful to let my two Era 100 speakers go unused once I add the Era 300s, since they’re still excellent speakers.So I’d really appreciate some advice from the community.If I end up with the following setup:Sonos Arc + 2× Era 100 + 2× Era 300 + Sub Miniwhat would be the most appropriate way to place them in a room? Has anyone tried integrating both Era 100 and Era 300 in the same home theater environment?Alternatively, would it make more sense to skip the Era 300 purchase and upgrade the Arc to the Arc Ultra instead?I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences.Thank you so much!

Upgrading from Beam to Arc. Do I need to remove the Beam from my system first?

Hi everyone,I am ready to push the button on a home theatre setup involving the Arc Ultra / ERA 100’s and a Sub.Currently I have an LG Soundbar which has 2 HDMI inputs. I connect my Panasonic UB9000 directly to it for audio as it shows zero lip sync issues from any source.I have a 65 inch LG G5 TV.My full connected devices would be:Sky QApple TVXBOX Series XPanasonic UB9000Now I know that from my UB9000 I would have to then send Audio/Video to the TV HDMI, and the Arc to my eARC HDMI and let the TV do all the work.My issues before buying are mostly with SKY Q and how well this works.Ideally I need to know whether with my setup I am likely to get any Lip Sync issues, and also… I don’t really want the sound coming through my rear speakers when watching standard TV.Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi , I just wanted to know if it’s ok to use 2 x era 300 with a playbar and gen 3 sub . would I need to upgrade my soundbar to use the era 300 pair . thanks . 

I know what you’re thinking.  I’m beating a dead horse.  But I still think it’s a valid ask, so here we go:I want to be able to have two sub minis in a room, just like you can have 2 sub gen 4’s.  My reasons are this >I already have one sub mini with my system (Arc + 2 Era 100’s + sub mini) but want to have wider coverage of the bass. Before you say “just get a sub gen 4”, I will tell you that I prefer the bass ‘sound’ of the mini over the sub gen 4.  I find the bass tighter and more controlled with the sub mini.  So it’s not just a question of more bass, but the different type of bass each of those products produceSonos has the ability to allow two sub mini’s in the same system since they already do with the gen 4’s, so I wouldn’t think it’s a huge engineering hurdle to allow the same with the sub mini.  And it would be a win/win imo.  Those of us sub mini owners who want a second one attached to our system would be happy, and So

I have a living room TV with a Sonos sound bar base and two small Sonos speakers All attached to each other. I want to set up a bedroom TV with a Sonos room that is not linked to the living room TV. How do I do this?

My setup is an Arc Ultra with rear 300s and a sub gen 3, routed through earc from a Samsung s95f tv. I am having a really hard time getting a useable surround sound balance when playing games on the ps5 or switch 2, which are both configured using lpcm 5.1 for positional surround with minimal latency. I’ve narrowed down the main issue to the surround balancing that seems to occur between the Arc Ultra and the surround satellites, where the system seems to always want to use the arc to boost the surrounds even when it makes no sense. in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth for example, if I rotate the camera around so a sound source goes from directly in front of me to directly behind me I can hear it move from the center to the side and then to the back, except as it moves to the back the side is always firing just as loud as it was while the object was mostly in front of me so now the overall volume of the source is basically doubled as it comes out of multiple speak

I purchased the BK 402A and it is not outputting sound through my Sonos soundbar. It seems that the audio output is not working.The equipment I have is: a Sonos Arc Ultra soundbar, an Optoma UHD38x projector, and an Apple TV 4K.I connected the projector to OUT1 (eARC), the Sonos soundbar to INPUT eARC1, and the Apple TV to INPUT 2. The sound is coming out of the projector instead of the soundbar. The eARC button is turned on.From what I have read and understood, everything appears to be connected correctly,

how to change my Beam Gen 2 connected with 2 Era 300 for arc ultra for Beam, what is the best procedure???

Can we please get center channel control on the Arc Ultra, it’s currently set 4-6dB too loud! Which makes it so loud over music and any panning vocals or voices.

If I provide a photo of the room I want to purchase a system for, could you recommend the best options/setup?
